Chapter 42: Immortal Ointment
Realizing that something was wrong, Lin Xing immediately glanced at Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan waved his hand, and the guards behind him retreated, leaving only the two of them communicating in low voices in the corridor.
"Mrs. Sister-in-law, what is wrong with what Zhao Zhong said?" Zhou Yan lowered his voice and approached Lin Xing.
This was the first time that the two of them were so close, and Lin Xing was not used to it, but the matter was urgent, so she didn’t even think about it, so she imitated Zhou Yan and said in a mute voice: “What Zhao Zhong said is quite weird.
Please tell me, Your Majesty, that everyone involved in the torture of Zhao Zhong today must be under surveillance to prevent them from leaking this matter."
Zhou Yan glanced at the cell, assessed and said, "This is a bit difficult."
He stretched out his hand to count, "There are about twenty people participating in the torture today. If they are all put under surveillance without any reason, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince everyone."
As the eldest son, he can naturally do whatever he wants, but if he rashly does such an outrageous thing, it will damage his reputation, so he has to think twice.
But Lin Xing was still not sure whether what Zhao Zhong said was the same thing as what she guessed. If not, that would be fine, but if it was... Lin Xing frowned thinking of the disasters that thing had caused in human history.
She thought over and over again and said to Zhou Yan: "I suspect that Zhao Zhong's grandson did not suffer from a strange disease, but was seduced into some kind of addiction. This matter requires in-depth investigation to be sure. I ask the prince to consider it."
Seeing Lin Xing's face was so serious, Zhou Yan knew that it was not a trivial matter, so he said, "Madam, do you know how to be sure?"
"We must investigate what Zhao Zhong's grandson has been exposed to." Lin Xing said, thinking of Zhao Zhong's frequent visits to Dongling Pharmacy, and added, "In particular, we must check whether this thing is related to Dongling Pharmacy. If so,
Yes, then everyone who frequents Tangling Pharmacy these days must find out."
If it is really what he thinks, and the prince is behind Dongling Pharmacy, that prince must be deposed!
Realizing Lin Xing's seriousness, Zhou Yan didn't waste any time and immediately ordered people to investigate.
After giving instructions in the hallway of the prison, Zhou Yancai and Lin Xing went to the cell to see Zhao Zhong.
When Zhao Zhong saw Lin Xing, his eyes dodge away.
Zhao Jie's face turned black with anger at his appearance, and he scolded: "Now you know that Wu Yan went to see my mother? When you wanted to harm her, why didn't you feel ashamed of her? My father treated you well, and I treat you well.
You are extremely respectful. In our Zhao family, who else dares to look down on you except the two old men? What are your reasons that you can't tell me! A hundred years later, do you have the nerve to go see my father!"
The more Zhao Jie said, the paler Zhao Zhong's face became.
Lin Xing raised her hand to stop Zhao Jie, "Stop talking. The deal is done. Since he did this, he will naturally have to bear the consequences."
With that said, Lin Xing glanced at the officials around her and slowly walked to Zhao Zhong.
Zhao Zhong's hands were torn off behind his back and hung on a wooden stake. His body was also beaten with blood by Zhao Jie, and he was in a miserable state.
Lin Xing stood in front of him, looked up, moved her lips and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Has your grandson ever smoked anything?"
Under Lin Xing's sharp gaze, Zhao Zhong's eyes trembled, and even though there was no other unnecessary expression, he confirmed Lin Xing's guess.
That's what she was thinking!
"But it has something to do with the people from Dongling Pharmacy?" Lin Xing asked another question without pausing.
Zhao Zhong had already reacted at this time, avoided her sight and refused to answer, but this confirmed Lin Xing's suspicion even more.
When she thought that that thing had been introduced here at this time, Lin Xing's face suddenly changed, and she turned to Zhou Yan and said: "Your Highness, immediately send troops to surround Dongling Pharmacy!"
"No! Please, madam, please don't do this! Otherwise, the people of Yuzhou will be killed!" Zhao Zhong turned his head and begged, with tears streaming down his face.
Lin Xing turned around and met his gaze with a cold expression: "You also know that this will harm the people of Yuzhou? Then why did you know it and didn't say anything? You didn't want to save the people of Yuzhou at all, you were just worried about your grandchildren.
Without the medicine, you will die!"
She scolded so harshly that everyone in the prison was startled.
Only Zhou Yan called Zhang Ping with a normal look and said: "Keep an eye on Dongling Pharmacy, don't let others notice."
His voice was neither loud nor quiet, enough for the officers in the cell to hear. Everyone could not help but look stern, and immediately looked at his nose, nose, and heart, pretending they had not heard the words.
——The prince's words were clearly a warning to them, and they must not leak this matter.
Zhou Yan took in the expressions of these people and turned around with satisfaction.
Lin Xing and Zhao Jie were still interrogating Zhao Zhong, but Zhao Zhong didn't know much and they didn't ask anything.
But it was not easy to know that the problem was in Dongling Pharmacy, and neither of them was discouraged.
After leaving the prison, Zhao Jie got into the carriage of Lin Xing and Zhou Yan, stared at Lin Xing curiously and asked: "Mom, what disease does Zhao Zhong's grandson have? Why did you say, Zhao Zhong
His face changed?"
Zhou Yan also thought of what Lin Xing said that Zhao Zhong's grandson was not ill but addicted, and he also stole probing eyes.
At this point, Lin Xing had no need to hide anything from them and said bluntly: "He is not sick, but addicted to the fairy ointment. Now he can't quit and can only live on the fairy ointment. If he becomes addicted, he will
If there is no magic ointment to inhale, the whole body will twitch and the pain will be unbearable, like thousands of ants eating away at the heart, which is worse than death."
Just hearing these words from Lin Xing's calm mouth, Zhao Jie was so frightened that he suddenly thought, "There is such a thing?"
"Logically speaking, there is no such thing in Daqing, but if someone comes from overseas, we can't prevent it." Lin Xing looked at the ice with her eyes.
Neither Zhao Jie nor Zhou Yan had ever seen her so serious, so they unconsciously became serious.
The carriage fell into silence for a while until Zhou Yan spoke: "Zhang Ping has already gone to Dongling Pharmacy. The results will be available soon, so don't worry."
Zhou Yan's calm voice made Lin Xing gradually calm down.
She nodded and told Zhou Yan how to deal with the fairy ointment, which gave her a little comfort.
Even though she did what she could, Lin Xing still couldn't sleep. When she returned to Nanluogu Lane, she immediately called out Xiao Yi.
"What kind of dynasty is this? The productivity is so backward that there is such a thing as fairy ointment. Is it reasonable?" Lin Xing couldn't hold back and asked her doubts.
We can't start a war now and then enter the First World War, right? According to the current industrial level of the Daqing Dynasty, they won't be beaten to the ground!
Xiao Yi was also helpless, "The game world is adapted from the background of the novel world. It is quite different from the timeline of the real world. It will not develop according to the timeline of the real world. Please rest assured, host."
Lin Xing twitched the corner of her mouth.
